Ask yourself WHY you want to shed weight/fat? What are your motivations? Some common reasons are related to self esteem, societal norms, wardrobes, feelings of well being, and health. Write down your reasons, and any associated tailenders. Then just tap, tap, tap...

I have been on low carb, high protein, and good fat for 9 years. and I consider processed food toxic.  I virtually cannot eat any carbs or I gain immediately and I keep the total calories between 1200 and 1500.  Thanks to EFT I have no food cravings.  In fact, the naturopath I went to see told me I wasn't eating enough!  I have been taking my temperature for about two months, and have graphed it.  It can go as low as 93 after I have had a two mile walk with my dogs.  This is my body's way of making sure that I do not lose any calories through exercise.  How many doctors know a body is capable of doing that?  They just assume you are fat because you eat too much and exercise too little.  Gradually through the day it might go up to 96.8.  Once, after I sat in the sun for an hour or two reading, it got as high as 98.2.  I felt like a lizard basking in the sun to increase my body temperature.  I have had my blood tested and yes, I am hypothyroid, and I am now waiting for the next appointment to see what the protocol is.  It is very possible that somehow I am missing the emotional trigger for this, but it is also a fact that our bodies from the dawn of time "know" how to get us back to being even fatter than we ever were.  It is part of the physiological program that always runs in the background like the operating system of a computer.  EFT may be able to overcome it, and I may need an experienced EFT practitioner to get at the core issue, or I may just need the physiological fix.  I will continue to use EFT for whatever thought comes to mind on this or any other issue as it has certainly helped me in other areas.  I have had "ah hah!" revelations with EFT, such as what color is my thyroid--and I had an image of a washed out blue.  If my metabolism was a box, what would it be?  A freezer popped into my head.  It was open, not closed, so I am still tapping on my problems.  I keep hoping to solve it as I do not want to be on medications for the rest of my life.

Have you ever heard of The Gabriel Method for weight loss. He talks about what you mentioned above as a reason for some people being unable to lose weight. I'm one of those people. I use his methods (which are very simple) & EFT together. You could get his book from your local library. Its a very easy read.

Hi There,

Since your thyroid is not functing properly, you may should look into doing the thymus thump, and may be even tap on it. With some when their thyroid is not functioning properly, this lead to their body not being able process and make use of foods it eats, and keep it well mineralized, some doctors has what is called a mineral tasted kit, google it, and what it does is by taste one can determine if their body is low in certain minerals. To learn more of this google, mineral tasted kit, it is not that expensive.

Most of us know that before we tap, we need or should be well hydrated, and I am not sure if Gary has stress that it should be well mineralized too?  It is my opinion and experience too, that for me, even tapping wise, I get more done when my body is well mineralized.  I just believe that some their EFT tapping do no work all that well fo them, it do their that person body not being well mineralized, each mineral has a vital role in the human body being and staying healthy.  Most of the soils of nation foods, the top soils are mineral depleted due to over use and bad farming practice. Thus the quality of our nation foods are not all that great.

What seems to has happened to some is that they have taken some antibiotics and other things that destroyed their intestine flora, killling most of two kinds flora that seem to play a vital role in the body digestion process, proper and better digestion for some lead for most, less chance they will gain too much weight.  Do you and have some alternative or allopath told you that you may need to take digestive enzymes after meals?

Take with the French, and Italians too, they may have good wine and cheese, the good old world quality stuff, both seem to help them better digest their meal. And some Europeans when they eat, they talk of cultural stuff, versus today, in our nation, what is said and discuss energy wise, may not go well with one to eat and digest their meals. Junk foods and too late eating, too has it role in some in time, gain and keep gaining weight.

I believe in EFT but too, but I am an advocate for one to try as best as possible learn all they can about eating and food craving too, food craving do suggest to some degree how one may need to change their diet that they may better not be gaining too much weight.  So too how and where one gain their weight, both too provide clues and tips on eating wise, what one is doing wrong.  Yes, so I like I said, I believe in EFT, but too the more comphrensive approach of doing if possible all the little things that may contribute to one not in time gain too much weight. I never had too much a weight problem, thus I not being too much a student on this matter.

So, I just said to you some things that may be food for thought for you?

 Thank you for the tip re the Gabriel Method.  It is worth a try.  I went to a naturopath re my weight, and rather than a thyroid problem, which of course did not show up on the regular blood tests, she suggested an adrenal fatigue due to years and years of dieting.  I have been following the supplement protocol with moderate success.  I still have not achieved a higher body temperature, but I can put my jeans on now without lying on the bed, lol.

 Thank you for your interest and the Thymus thump is another solution.  I have been reading on this organ, as it is all part of the thyroid, adrenal, feedback loop.  I have been fighting my body so long, I have forgotten that cooperation is a more valid approach.  Fighting my weight only got me fatter.  I have done a few rounds of EFT to apologize to my body for my abuse.  I feel lighter, at least emotionally.
